TEA Party elect Joni Ernst claims that there is no war on women within the GOP. Is she out of her f**king mind? They vote against every bill which would support women including the Violence Against Women Act and the Equal Pay initiative. She is a tool of the Koch brothers and an embarrassment to all females in our society. She is also opposed to changes in military law which would protect women soldiers who accuse their attackers in the case of sexual assault.

Her major issue has become the protection of the Christian religious right and a denial of women to control what happens to their own bodies.

“I will remind them that I am a woman and I have been to war,” said Ernst, an Iraq War veteran who served in the Iowa National Guard. “Let me be clear, there’s no ‘War on Women.’” Really?

She is not a woman; she is a soldier first, a puppet of the Koch brothers, and cannot relate to the difficulties of poor women in our nation. She has been out of touch with reality for decades, and has no understanding of the problems facing ordinary women daily in our nation.

Having the correct genitalia does not make one a feminist. A feminist can be someone from either sex who supports the extinction of their existence as second-class citizens. The GOP would prefer that all women were subservient to men and acted like “June Cleaver.”

In a male dominated society America’s women have fully engaged in the war against them. They are rejecting marriage until they have careers. More women are entering colleges and universities than men. And women are voting, but not according to the instructions of their male counterparts.

Ernst must get her head out of the sand. There is an attempt by the GOP to relegate women to third class citizens; the pecking order would be men, a fetus, and finally women.
